NAME
       polkitd - The polkit system daemon

SYNOPSIS
       polkitd

DESCRIPTION
       polkitd provides the org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 D-Bus service on the system message bus.
       Users or administrators should never need to start this daemon as it will be automatically
       started by dbus-daemon(1) or systemd(1) whenever an application calls into the service.

       polkitd must be started with superuser privileges but drops privileges early by switching
       to the unprivileged polkitd system user.

       See the polkit(8) man page for more information.
